October Restaurant Openings and Closings in San Antonio

We've got a slew of new restaurants in town (along with a few bummer closures), here's a quick recap of San Antonio's latest eateries.

Openings

Chef Jason Dady opened his modern chophouse, Range, inside the former Lüke. The eatery packs in Hill Country faves like Parisa (a cheesy beef tartare), table-side martinis, great service and blue cotton candy as a sweet finale. Find them at 125 E. Houston St., (210) 227-4455.
